Most of us here are ages 13-30 years old. We all have a lot of years ahead of us where anything can happen. After watching some videos about people that have dedicated a year or so out of their lives to do things before they die, I'm inspired to hold myself to making a mark on the world, just so people know that I've been on here.

I don't want to fade into history as an average Joe who had an average-paying job and an average family. I don't want to feel like in 60 or so years of living, I wasted all that time. In the end we all meet the same demise, so we shouldn't have to all live in the same way.

My life will never go like this, but I want the dream to be in a band. I want that band to go somewhere and I want to help people. I don't want to be the next preachy Bono though (not that I question his work). I'd like to be able to tour the world. See the things which make Earth interesting and try to at least be known as someone who tried.

I guess we could all have dreams like this, but not many come true. I don't mean this to be another "If you could do 1 thing before you died" thread but more of a how you plan to spend your life before you die. I'm sure we don't all want to be working in an office for 20 years trying to climb the corporate ladder.

Leaving your mark on the world

Not only is that vile and disgusting but that's alot of piss you're going to need there mister.

</sarcasm>

On topic, I really don't care if people remember me after I die. I won't even be around to know what the fuck they think of me so why the hell would I give a shit?

I wanna live in huge dark cave and teach tricks to a bunch of bats so they can go kill my enemies and then return to me. It'll take a long time for me to be caught because of my supercool bat murderers. Yay!

I remember Heliopios as a spammer.

Well that's what Newgrounds is for. Apart from a few wankers, we're here to support members who contribute. There's a lot of very good reviewers in the audio portal, and I'm sure you could PM some of the more skilled composers and ask if they could review your stuff. It would also be great promotion for you, if a well known flash artist used your music. Or you could make music for flash artists.

Don't follow your dreams...Hunt them down.

I plan on becoming an actor some day.

Or maybe a comedian, whatever. I know what you mean, though.

If I'm out and I see a random stranger, I smile at them.

If they smile back, it makes my day. I've been doing that everyday for forever, and it still makes me happy.

I'm a guitarist.
I'm good too :)
I've got this vision, I have a very different style of making music,I want to become known for changing music, Like Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, or Pink Floyd.

I know I could do it, I've got the vision, the potential and the skills, Or at least I think so.
I just don't have the Opportunity nor the resources, Due to me living in a Rural Fisherman's Village in Eastern Iceland.

Too bad.

I guess I'll just do drugs, go on a killing spree and Kill myself.

I don't like bass on it's own. I find it clunky most commonly, although sometimes it can churn out some pretty great riffs. Bass does sound great accompanied with guitar though. Not just in the sense it boosts the guitar's sound, but the bass just adds a whole new level to the music. Me and my friend (bassist) learn songs on and play them at lunchtime at school. We turn out quite a crowd.

If you really want somthing work for it. I want to be an animator and make a living off it because its somthing i love. I'm majoring in computer animation next year in college and it's somthing I'm willing to work for.

Next time someone tells you to "Leave room for the holy spirit.." ask them if they are implying you have a threesome.

I know what you're saying. I'm not interested in being in a band but I like making films, so hopefully if I continue to make them and get better at it they might get shown somewhere one day. Even if I got one shown on a minor TV channel I'd be happy. I don't want to die and leave no memories of me other than a few photos and word-of-mouth stories. I want to leave behind something that represents myself, you know?
